Are there laws that state I cannot hold my mother's hand and walk her up and down the hallways of the NH? Are there laws that say I can't stand next to her, allow her to stand up from the wheelchair? I am also told if she were to stand up from the wheel chair and I wanted to place her on her bed or the toilet i cannot do this either. I am in CA.
There isn't enough staff to keep her mobile. Help please.
my involvement helped mom so much..i need to know the laws cuz this NH uses lies all the time to snow family members assisting mom with mobility was fine and I even have videos taken from my phone of her andi walking; the ombuds suggested i tell the state a particular thing, i did so and now the rules have changed they are also accusing me of somethings like going through residents rooms which is not accurate at all...
a few families at this facility have been told they cannot meet the needs of their loved one, in short, suggesting the family take their loved one and leave (inability to meet a LO's needs is grounds to evict the patient). I fear if i push them to do the 3s a day they will pull the we can't meet her needs card.
Also, the issue that I reported to the state was anonymous yet the NH confronted me and did so in such a way that I figured the state included my name in their report ....ombudsman sat there without stopping them from and in so doing i answered/admitted i had made said report then, the ombuds sat right there while the NH told me visiting hours end at 8 p.m. and I would have to leave at that time ahhh. the laws are the opposite but the ombuds didn't wave that in their face...what's up?
